What are some signs of illness concerning a yellow Lab?

Answer by  Trueakitalover (1728)

It would be lethargic, not playing, not running around a lot. Being lazy. Not eating his food and not drinking his water. Just not having any energy. You can usually tell by their eyes also.

Being unable to hold urine. Glossy eyes that don't seem to focus. Pale gums are a huge sign as well as lack of energy below normal.

These signs would be the same for all dogs - not just a yellow Lab Lab specifically. Watch to make sure that your dog is eating and drinking as he usually has been. Rejecting food is a telltale sign that something is amiss. Lethargy and lameness are other signs that there is a problem.
